Ill miss him, but it was his time to go, he is just going to get older and more injury prone. I am just happy we get a first round out of this so maybe we can trade and get Reggie Bush, then it will be totally worth it.

I've always liked Abe and I'm alittle bother to see him leave to be honest business is business and on a sidebote. Abe will be there for you all season but expect to see him waving a white towel come playoff time. If you make it that far and expect your opposition to run to his side. He overpersue's and get's burn to his side alot because of the looping style of pass rushing.

In all fairness, if Abe stays healthy, he's fantastic. That's a big IF, however. I always liked him and wanted badly for him to remain a Jet, but then he was complaining and whining and he was never really putting it all out there for contract reasons. He did not play hurt in the playoffs two seasons ago because he was concerned about his future. I grew to think of him as a luxury, not a guy that would play all the time. If he did not want to be a Jet, the team had to get what they could have for him.I bear no grudge against him, but I am not sad to see him go.

" Welcome to the ATL"hmmm..... this guy sounds like a Jim Rome "clone." We are so honored you took time from your busy schedule listening to Rome to grace us with your presence. I know how difficult it must be to prepare for your entries into the daily smack-off. We really appreciate you having a take on our forum that doesn't suck.

Abe got his 15-18 million guaranteed congrats to you abe. you worked hard for it.I am sure his attitude willbe that of a guy who got the monkey off his back and is ready for change. near his home.lets face it edwards failed when it came to ABE.abe's short comings on the field will be redirected by the falcons rest a easy on that."they know what they are getting a defensive game changer who is happy to be here".that sounds dangerous to me guys. I'll be watching abe make the highlites.

21ST CENTURY NEW YORK STATE OF MIND ."REST IN PEACE NIGHT OWL TOM"Use Caution when reading my comments>.

John Clayton reported on ESPN radio last night (haven't seen a story on-line, so you'll have to believe me or not) that Abe was offered more money by the Seahawks but still wanted to go to the Falcons because of his family.

Wow. I sense much anger and jealousy. Cheer up. You guys still have Bollinger (ROFL). And Testaverde....

Too bad for you.

See ya next season. Enjoy your #29 draft pick....

(A late round pick for a proven veteran. I'll take it)

This trade only works for Atlanta if Abe stays healthy for a complete three seasons. If not, it was a horrible trade.

By the way, what anger and jealousy? The Falcons have been a horrible franchise since their inception, never won the SB, had only 2 winning seasons in the last 6 and are beholden to a guy named Ron Mexico who has actually gotten worse as a QB over his career. Why should a Jet fan be jealous?
